I currently have three prepared talks available either live or on Zoom. If presentations are live, then  prints are shown .

  • A new talk for 2023 - Why? - The first part looks at our motivation for taking images, mostly illustrated with my own images. There will also be at least one short video (there will be 2 if there's internet access in the venue). Links to YouTube videos: Lockdown Circus & Foodbank.
In the second part of the presentation, I'll show some more of my recent images (mostly from 2020 - to 2022)  in more detail - and looking at how they have been manipulated (using Photoshop Elements).
  • Original Dabblings My journey from slide photography to digital. Prints and projected images shown alongside each other if presenting live. Although the earliest images in the talk date back to the mid 1990s, I regularly add updates.
  • The Camera Doesn't Lie (but photographers do) -  There are 2 parts to this talk:
    -  a brief history of photomanipulation BEFORE PhotoShop along with examples from Victorian times up to the present.
     - The 2nd part involves me showing "before and after" examples of my  work. For links to sources of images and information, click on the  Download File below this text box.

For more general audiences I am happy to customise talks on request - especially in conjunction with exhibitions.

Talks given and future bookings

I may have missed out some of the talks given prior to the start of 2013 - I've often included just the talk title in my Google calendar and not the club I was visiting! I have no record of talks that I gave from 2004 to 2011 :-)
